Roccazzo, Archaeological site near Borgata Costiera, Mazara del Vallo, Italy.
The archaeological complex spans 20 hectares on a limestone elevation, featuring large boat-shaped huts and numerous shaft tombs from ancient settlements.
Excavations in 2008 led by Sebastiano Tusa revealed multiple tombs and Eneolithic dwellings, along with Neolithic ceramics and Bronze Age artifacts.
The necropolis contains 47 burial chambers, with tomb number 29 containing remains of 14 individuals, indicating complex funeral practices of ancient inhabitants.
The site requires visitors to cross private property and can be accessed via Regional Road 17 Fondacazzo - Santa Teresa - Roccazzo route.
Four rectangular dwellings measuring 7 by 16 meters remain visible through their foundation trenches, preserving the layout of prehistoric residential structures.
